After I posted the 20 Signs You Twitter Too Much, I received a boatload of emails (I stopped counting at 40) from people who wanted me to re-post the list plus the additions made in the comments so they could email the post to their friends. (My thought: um...just RT it...but whatev!)
Far be it for me to disappoint my Tweeps, so here it is...the mostly new and improved...
